As the heads of the leading social media platforms faced questions from the Senate Judiciary Committee on Wednesday about their efforts to protect children who use their services, Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) raised particular concern about the ease with which children may obtain potentially deadly narcotics through these online venues.
“We have had Chinese and Mexican cartels, in the words of our head of the Drug Enforcement Agency, harness these platforms ... by allowing them to advertise pills laced with fentanyl,” Ms. Klobuchar told NTD News on the sidelines of Wednesday’s hearing. “Oftentimes, these kids that buy them think they’re buying a Percocet or something like that. They don’t know they’re laced with fentanyl.”
